Buddy... So uncool! It's fine to not like the car, but you don't have to rag on the owner! :omg:

I really don't even like the term "ricer:...little derogatory maybe:question:
A motor is just an air pump - who cares how the air pump makes power just that it can make power - big power. I've seen plenty of japanese engines lay waste to V8 engines at the dragstrip from little 1.6 and 1.8s all the way up to 2jz turbo motors.
About 4 years ago I bought a clean little black 1991 Si Civic hatch with a blown motor SOHC 1.6 (108 hp.) for $1100! I bought a stock JDM 1.6 DOHC ZC engine (125 hp). By the time I did the header, stainless exhaust, CAI, and custom chip I was making over 150 hp. Not a lot of power but the car only weighed in at just over 2000 lbs. I also drove this car everyday and got 36 mpg. Now this was no torquemonster by any means BUT it was quick enough to slowly pull away from a stock 87-93 Mustang GT. Imagine what it would do to a heavy mid to late 70s stock Z28?! I had only $3000 into the car including the coil over suspension and we did the work ourselves.
I now drive a 5.0 GT everyday because I miss the torque and sound of a V8 but still wish I hadn't sold the Civic - point is, it was a fun car.

i don't mean to say thats the way the guy actually is but thats just what comes to mind when i see something like that.
I think supra are awesome cars i would actually like to own one but to me putting the motor in a muscle car just grates. it doesn't seem to me to have any point at all. i mean keep a theme to the car. I am not some V8 only guy my buddy has a spirit r/t that will waste anything I ever had.

that isnt even what I said!!!! I like things with 1 cylinder four cylinders or 5 cylinders for that matter or even things that don't have cylinders like rx7's

and NO I DONT CONSIDER SUPRAS RICE NOT AT ALL. there is a local supra that is fast as hell that thing sounds like a freakin banshee. I have been contemplating a lexus SC 2jz swap i think it would be a good low buck alternative to a supra.

NOW BACK TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING....

Ok, we're cool! Let's face it, typing doesn't express all of what we mean when we say something, I thought you were downing the guy for doing it.

I don't think I would do it either, but that Supra motor in a Vega, Monza, or one of their clones would rock!
